Fire-driven disruptions of global soil biochemical relationships by Guiyao Zhou, Nico Eisenhauer, Zhenggang Du, Manuel Esteban Lucas-Borja, Kaiyan Zhai, Miguel Berdugo, Huimin Duan, Han Wu, Shengen Liu, Daniel Revillini, Tadeo Sáez-Sandino, Hua Chai, Xuhui Zhou, Manuel Delgado-Baquerizo

“…The impacts of fire are most strongly negative in cold climates, conifer forests, and under wildfires with high intensity and frequency. Our work provides evidence that fire decouples soil biogeochemistry globally and helps to identify high-priority ecosystems where critical components of soil biogeochemistry are especially unbalanced by fire, which is fundamental for the management of ecosystems in a world subjected to more severe, recurrent, and further-reaching wildfires.…”

Prediction of OCT contours of short-term response to anti-VEGF treatment for diabetic macular edema using generative adversarial networks by Xueying Yang, Fabao Xu, Han Yu, Zhongwen Li, Xuechen Yu, Zhiwen Li, Li Zhang, Jie Liu, Shaopeng Wang, Shaopeng Liu, Jiaming Hong, Jianqiao Li

“…We endeavor to employ preoperative images along with postoperative OCT contours annotated and extracted via LabelMe and OpenCV to train the model in generating postoperative contours of critical OCT structures instead of previous whole retinal morphology, considerably alleviating the difficulty of output phase and diminishing the requisite quantity of training datasets. Our study reveals that the GAN could serve as an auxiliary instrument for ophthalmologists in determining the prognosis of individuals and screening patients with poor responses to anti-VEGF therapy.…”
